Description

Glaucoma refers to a group of serious eye conditions that, if untreated, can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness. The condition primarily damages the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. This damage is often caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP), but it can also occur even with normal eye pressure, depending on individual susceptibility. Understanding Glaucoma Glaucoma is a silent threat to vision because it often develops without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. The most common types include: Open-angle glaucoma Angle-closure glaucoma Normal-tension glaucoma Congenital glaucoma (in children) Risk Factors High eye pressure Diabetes and hypertension Family history of glaucoma Age (above 40) Treatment Options At Dr. Sasi Eye Care Hospital, we provide advanced treatments to manage glaucoma effectively: Laser Clinics for Glaucoma Correction: Laser procedures like selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and peripheral iridotomy help lower eye pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
